The pants in particular that stand out for one peculiarity: as skirts are born alive but are closed at the knees as trousers.

Vinyl accessories add a little 'light in a dark collection - almost too dark for summer - on only rare flashes entrusted to the tissues and the faces of the models highlighted by rigorous and voluminous chignon.
